for the sins of men who though he neither did nor could suffer above once yet is he virtually offered up by the merits and efficacy of his Passion every time we come to the participation of this Holy mystery behaving our selves in it like reverent and worthy partakers Lastly How is this the unleavened bread of Sincerity and Truth if it be no bread at all but a perfect cheat in the shape and appearance of it Does not that Religion think you give good encouragement to all manner of fraud and Imposture whose very basis and foundation is laid upon so great a juggle as this or what obligation can there be to believe and practice that doctrine which does so manifestly destroy its self by taking a way all safe appeal to our senses and consequently invalidating and di●annulling the evidence of all those miracles upon which its own authority is founded Thus I have in general considered the words I will be somewhat more particular if you please and I will begin again with the first particular Christ is our Passeover It is with respect to this that Isaac who was a type of Christ is prophetically called a Lamb though the business of the Paschal Lamb were not then known in the world Gen. 22. 7 8. And Isaac spake unto Abraham his Father and he said my Father and he said here am I my Son and he said behold the fire and the wood but where is the Lamb for a burnt offering and he said my Son God will provide himself a Lamb for a burnt-offering meaning his son Isaac whom he was about to sacrifice S. Peter also tells us that we are redeemed by the precious 1 Pet. 1. 18 19. bloud of Christ as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot alluding to that place in the Twelfth of Exodus Your Lamb shall be without blemish verse 5. In the fifty third of Isaiah at the seventh verse it is said of the Messias that he was brought as a Lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before his shearers was dumb and in the Eighth of the Acts at the thirty second verse the place is inverted He was led as a sheep to the slaughter and like a lamb dumb before his shearers In the Thirteenth of the Revelations at the Eighth with allusion to this Paschal Feast he is called the lamb slain from the foundation of the world and in the 19. Chapter at the Ninth verse we find mention of the marriage supper of the lamb by which marriage supper in that place is immediately understood the final completion and consummation of the happiness of Saints in Heaven by being perfectly freed and exempted from all the miseries of humane life and brought to a complete enjoyment of God and Christ in his glorified estate but it has also a respect to that marriage supper which is to be celebrated in this life that is the due and worthy participation Matth. 9. 15 c. of the body and bloud of Christ in the Holy Eucharist for Christ even with respect to the Church in this life is called the Bridegroom and every particular disciple is a child of the Bed-chamber and the Church in the general considered is his Spouse Now a man would think in all reason where there is a Bridegroom and a Spouse there must also be a wedding and a marriage Feast and accordingly we find both of these in the 22. Chapter of S. Matthews Gospel and in Verse 2. the 14. of S. Luke where the Kingdom of Heaven that Verse 16. is the gracious offers of blessedness and immortality by the Gospel is likened to a certain King which made a marriage for his son at the solemnity of which marriage a Feast is made to which many rich and noble guests such as were most suitable to the splendor of a Kingly entertainment are invited but they refusing to come that is in truth for this is at the bottom of the parable being prejudiced against the Gospel by reason of the seeming meanness of the first promulger of it and of its manifest contrariety to their worldly designs and Interests what was at first intended for magnificence is afterwards converted into charity and he sends his servants into the streets of the City to call in the poor and the maimed the halt and the blind by which is signified the mean and seemingly contemptible condition of the first Disciples and Apostles of Christianity Now as this marriage of the Kings son is really nothing else but the conversion of Jew and Gentile Greek and Barbarian bond and free to the faith of Christ and their admittance into the Church by Baptism so the marriage Feast or the more especial solemnities of this marriage together with that union of the Spouse to her Husband which is consequent thereupon are no where better set forth than in the Sacrament of the body and bloud of Christ which is a thankful commemoration of that Passion by which this marriage is finally consummated and by which the children of adoption who are born under it and engrafted by the merits of it into that body of which Christ is the head are made heirs of grace and partakers of Eternal life So that this Feast in S. Luke differs only in degree from that in the Revelation the presence of Christ by his Grace and Spirit by the merits of his Passion and the power of his Intercession to every worthy Communicant at this blessed Table being only a pledge or earnest of those joys unspeakable and pleasures at the right hand of God where Christ himself is in the other World And this is all that can be understood to be included in the true notion of the Sacrament It is first a grateful commemoration of the sufferings of God for the sins of men which cannot possibly be unattended with sorrow for sin and resolutions of a new life neither can it when it is hearty and sincere be unassisted by the gracious encouragements of the Holy Spirit It is Secondly a pledge or earnest of our future happiness with the Saints in Heaven The first Notion of the Sacrament has been sufficiently proved already our Saviour himself if we will believe him and certainly he knew best what was his own meanning tells us plainly that he instituted this Sacrament 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for a remembrance of himself and Luk. 22. 19 1 Cor. 11. 24 25. Ib. ver 26. St. Paul likewise tells us that as often as we eat this bread and drink this cup we do shew forth the Lord's death till he come The second also has the very same Authority to vouch it Matth. 26. 29. I will not drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Fathers Kingdom 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 when I drink it new with you that is when I drink it after a more excellent manner than you do now when I enjoy that Happiness that Infinite

complete and entire satisfaction undisturbed by any of the miseries or incumbrances of humane life of which this banquet is but a Type and figure 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 sayes Grotius Laetitiam immortalem quae per vinum adumbrata intelligebatur so we read of the New Jerusalem in the Book of the Revelation Rev. 3. 12. Gal. 4. 26. which St. Paul calls the Jerusalem which is above that is the Spiritual Jerusalem of which the earthly City was a figure Thus we find mention also of a New Song that is a most Psal 33 3. excellent pleasant and delightful song an exquisite composition of some very famed and celebrated master Praise-the Lord with the Harp sing unto him with the Psaltery See also Rev. 5. 9. 14. 3. and an Instrument of ten strings Sing unto him a new song play skilfully with a loud noise In the second of the Revelation at the 17th we read of a new name to him that overcometh saith the Spirit to the Churches I will give to eat of the hidden Manna that is the new the spiritual Manna and will give him a white stone and in the stone a new name written which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it What was this new name which the Spirit would bestow upon him that overcometh why in the 3d Chapter at the 12th verse it seems to be explained I will make him a pillar in the Temple of my God and he shall go no more out and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the City of my God which is New Jerusalem which cometh down out of Heaven from my God that is I will make him an inhabitant of the New Jerusalem an inheritor of Eternal life I will bring him to the infinitely pleasant and delightful enjoyment of the Beatifical Vision in Heaven and he shall be a Pillar in the Temple of my God and shall go no more out that is his happiness shall be as durable as it is exceeding great and all this I will do because I will write my new name upon him that is I will set a mark upon him by which he shall be known to be mine he shall appear sprinkled with my Bloud adorned with my Merits cloathed with my Righteousness and shall lay a just Title to the Promises of my Gospel after having performed the conditions of it which is the true sense of overcoming And this New name of Christ is by the Author to the Hebrews called a more excellent Name and all that is meant Chap. 1. 4. by it is the transcendent happiness and glory of Jesus Christ far beyond the most excellent ranks and orders of Created Beings who being the brightness of his Father's Glory and the express Image of his person when he had by himself purged our sins sat down on the right hand of the Majesty Verse 3. on High being made so much better than the Angels as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they Verse 4. For unto which of the Angels said he at any time thou art my son this day have I begotten thee and again I will be to him a Father and he shall be to me a son c. In fine to conclude Verse 5. this matter we are told likewise of a New and better Covenant a New Commandment and a New Doctrine all which may well enough comport with this Interpretation And now from all this it may be pretty plain that the true sence of that place I will not drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Fathers Kingdom is as much as if he had said I have now done with Types and Shadows and am hasting to the full and compleat enjoyment of the substance its self to the actual possession of that happiness of which this Wine is but a Symbol which notion however true in it's self if it will not pass upon the credit of this exposition there are other places of Scripture which may be produced to help it out In the 22d Chapter of St. Lukes Gospel at the 15th verse our Saviour tells his Disciples with desire have I desired to eat this Passeover with you before I suffer For I say unto you I will not any more eat thereof until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God and again in the 18th verse I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God shall come the sense of both which places is certainly the same I will neither eat this Passeover nor drink this Wine any more but am now leaving mortality and things below and am hastening to the possession of that glory which I had with the Father before the world was that Feast of Eternal joy and comfort of which this Passeover is a Type and shadow I am now preparing for my solemn Inauguration and investiture in that spiritual dominion which I as the King of Saints and Soveraign of Angels and Judge of all the world am to exercise over all created Beings from the time of my Ascension and for ever and so the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the fulfilling of the Passeover and of the Wine in St. Luke will be the same with the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the renovation of them in St. Matthew and the Analogy between these two the Earthly and the Heavenly Feast is sufficiently manifest from the 29th and 30th verses of that Chapter of St. Luke which I have just now cited where immediately after the Institution and Celebration of the Lords Supper our Saviour plainly alluding to that Feast with which they had been just now entertaining one another thus bespeaks his Disciples I appoint unto you a kingdom as my Father hath appointed unto me that ye may eat and drink at my table and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel Again as these Feasts had a plain allusion respect and relation to one another so the qualifications of the Guests are in both cases the same only that the degree of those Qualifications in the Marriage of the Lamb is much more high and intensive than in that of the King's son for the Lamb's wife in the 8th verse of the 19th Chapter of the Revelation was to be arrayed in fine linnen clean and white which fine linnen saith the voice there speaking is the righteousness of saints that is no man must expect to be partaker of the Heavenly inheritance who hath not wrought out his own Salvation with Fear and Trembling not every one who puts in a lazy claim to the Merits and satisfaction of Christ by an unactive Faith a Faith without an inward and vital principle of goodness a Faith without good works but they who by patience and perseverance in well-doing by an effectual conquest of all their lusts and passions to the obedience of God and Christ so
